Johanna Ghiglia to take medical leave from Télématin

Johanna Ghiglia, a columnist for the France 2 morning program Télématin, will be absent from the airwaves for several weeks in 2026 due to a scheduled surgical operation. Her temporary departure presents a logistical challenge for the broadcaster, as the program relies on a consistent rotation of regular contributors to maintain editorial continuity.

Ghiglia’s professional background is characterized by an unconventional path. Before transitioning to journalism, she received formal training at the Bobigny Conservatory and gained performance experience in musical theater in England and through short films. She eventually pivoted to news media during her graduate studies, moving from roles in television and film to her current position at France 2.
